This is a message from the National Counter Terrorism Security Office.
Our goal is supporting the countering of terrorism, keeping members of the public safe and giving access to assured, free resources, through the ProtectUK platform and app.
Recently we have noticed an increase of interest and enquiries relating to the Protect Duty and the Competent Persons Scheme. ProtectUK will be updated accordingly as we find out more information around any potential legislation and developments in relation to the scope of the scheme. Please refer to the ProtectUK platform and app for updates as and when they become available.
In light of the legislation and scheme still being defined, the final details and requirements are not yet known. We would like to inform you that NaCTSO do not endorse any current courses or products that mention supporting either compliance of the Protect Duty or the Competent Persons Scheme. We are unable, at this stage, to provide any assurance for third party courses that are not endorsed by NaCTSO, or not hosted on the ProtectUK site unless otherwise specified.
Should you or your organisation wish to use products or purchase and attend courses that mention potential up and coming legislation or the scheme, NaCTSO can provide no assurances that these courses will support you in being compliant in the future as currently there is limited information on the final requirements and scope at this stage.
Once these details are known, they will be shared through ProtectUK for you to access.
In the meantime to get the latest updates on counter terrorism, please visit protectuk.police.uk and download the ProtectUK app, available on the Apple and Android app stores.
If you are interested in increasing your counter terrorism awareness, we recommend registering for the ProtectUK platform and completing the award winning ACT Awareness e-Learning.
